the democrats want to outlaw sodas and guns. it's all bullshit to fire up morons. do you really think there's a snowball's chance in hell of overturning roe v. wade? do you really believe republicans want to force gay people to convert to heterosexuality? if you do, you're an abject moron, exactly the type of person this kind of divisive diversionary nonsense is aimed at.

The Democrats want to impose a "sin" tax on soda to try to nudge people from making themselves even more obese than they already are, in a futile attempt to bring down health care costs, without addressing the main problem, which neither side wants to confront (too much lobbyist money at stake).

I would welcome sane legislation on gun control that would work. I doubt that anyone in Congress would have the courage to do what Australia did.

It really doesn't seem worth engaging you any further, as you seem to be a fine exemplar of your closing statement in your argument.

>I doubt that anyone in Congress would have the courage to do what Australia did.

I doubt anyone in Congress has such disrespect for the values many Americans hold in regard to firearms, and the validity many Americans still find in the 2nd amendment.

I guess all those Senators saying just that, are probably muddying the issue for us abject morons.

lawyer whores say all kinds of shit they don't believe in order to "win".
